November 03, 2021 at 08:00AM It’s safe to say that this year, we’ve fallen back in love with getting our nails done. Having been denied the salon experience for so long, I—and, judging by the difficulty I had getting an appointment with my manicurist, so many of you—have been working hard to make up for lost time. When I did finally get my turn in the salon chair last week, I was curious to find out which colours were proving popular right now, to which my manicurist responded, “Everything autumnal—in here, summer’s over.”That’s right—while our wardrobes may still be clinging to the last few weeks of warm(ish) weather, as far as our nails go, our approach and preferences are absolutely geared towards autumn. I’m no exception, either, for the colour I chose was a rich, deep shade of burgundy, which I thought would help bridge…

November 03, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come spring. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans. More specifically, the silhouettes that are especially relaxed.In fact, since making an appearance again last year, loose-fitting jeans are still very much a present part of the autumn/winter 2021 line-up. Well today, we thought we’d dive in a bit deeper with some visual inspiration on how fashion people are wearing loose-fitting jeans because it’s continuing well into 2022, we think. With that in mind, keep scrolling for a range of outfit ideas featuring…

November 03, 2021 at 07:00AM Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for winter 2021. As we enter November, while we are no longer in lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably remain an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we're jumping at the opportunity to go “out out,” chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function.The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on for a chilly November morning, but this year, it comes with more streamlined quilting, which is perfect for layering. There’s also plenty of colour via the saturated shades that hit the runways at Prada and Bottega Veneta. From…

November 03, 2021 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor, I sometimes have a difficult time deciding which products to try out and keep for myself. While the fact that all the latest beauty launches land on my desk every day is a total dream, sadly, one face can only try so many products. Personally, I find these decisions particularly hard when it comes to makeup. With skincare, ingredient lists tend to tell me whether or not my skin will like a product. But with makeup, the products I keep tend to be ones that appeal to my inner magpie.I like my makeup products to look just as beautiful on my dressing table as they do on my face. I also want them to feel luxurious and, most importantly, possess a certain je ne sais quois that makes applying them feel like a special…

November 03, 2021 at 06:30AM It was when I was singing the praises of a certain £6 product that had converted me to eye creams that I took the time to actually look at my bathroom beauty stash properly. Upon doing so, I realised just how many other products from the same brand had a permanent home in my skincare rotation.As I’ve mentioned previously, The Ordinary is an affordable beauty brand offering up high-performance formulations with ingredients at its core. Ask any beauty or skincare fanatic about the brand, and chances are they’ll have a couple of products in their bathroom cabinets.Admittedly, if you aren’t already clued about the ingredients you should be putting on your face, The Ordinary can feel a little overwhelming at first. But with a little research into your skin concerns and needs, it’s a great affordable beauty brand to get on board with.For…

November 03, 2021 at 06:30AM Once upon a time, before niche fragrance brands were but a twinkle in beauty’s eye, designer perfumes were all we knew. You see, for decades, fashion brands (think Chanel, Dior and Armani) have used perfume and fragrance as a way to sell their slice of luxury to the masses. Still expensive but not as extravagant a purchase as, say, a four-figure handbag, perfume has long been a way for us to treat ourselves to the finer things.And sure, while it suits us well, it’s worth noting here it suits the designer fashion houses even more. You see, while profit margins on high-end fashion and accessories are small, profit margins on perfumes are eye-wateringly large. Actually, the fact that designer brands rely on perfume sales to keep money flowing is one of the industry’s most poorly kept secrets.But for years, designer perfumes were…
